Hi Everyone!

I am new to this forum and love the kind of posts I am getting to read here, totally inspiring. I have been an avid thinker and researcher in the field of self-improvement and love to motivate anyone who is in need of it.

Anyway, the first discussion I want to start here is about "Admitting Your Mistakes". Mistakes have often been dubbed as the stepping-stones to success. And it's famously said you aren't going anywhere if you aren't making any mistakes. We all make mistakes both in our professional as well as personal life. And admitting them helps us making the right decisions. And you start to find faster solutions, better answers and boost up your creatively.

We all know that admitting our mistakes and taking responsibility for them is a major step towards self-realization. By accepting our mistakes we learn new things and come to know where we have been going wrong. That in turn helps us to stop repeating them.

Now my question is, how many of us are willing to admit our mistakes? How many of us can actually accept each and every mistake we commit and take responsibility for it?

And also do you think sharing your mistakes with others will help you overcome them better?

"Humans are driven by emotion not logic"

We all need to learn to take charge of our neurology in order to emotionally dissociate ourselves from failure before we can do the next step which is to learn from failure (OVEREXAGGERATED!)

zo,

I have to admit that I am guilty of having the stumbling block of not wanting to face up to my mistakes at times; human ego is always the greatest crux yet many pride themselves on it.

Nonetheless, it is a daily challenge to increase one's humility and listen more but that's how we all grow, don't we?

Admiting mistakes does not necessarily mean lost of pride... yeah?

Who doesn't make mistakes? Admit it and move on with larger issues. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill....

Not all admitted mistakes can be forgiven right James Gomez?

Forgiveness is a state of mind, just a matter of how long it takes.

I was over at the Holiday Inn Subang Jaya (outskirts of KL), which is a sort of 4-star hotel. There was this mama shop (ok ok, convenience store) and pasted on the cash register was this poster:

What to Do About Misktakes:
1) Admit it.
2) Learn from it.
3) Don't repeat it.

Kinda interesting to me that a storekeeper puts that on his cash register!
